Our lab is moving to automate our liquid handling and need to decide very soon as to which robot we go with. We have looked at Beckman's Biomeks, Tecan, and Hamilton and based on price versus quality we're hung up with what to do. Can I hear from any references who may have used or currently are working with a high throughput robot liquid dispensing system?

We are currently investigating a robotic liquid handling system to streamline our real time PCR preps. I'm not sure what sort of applications you are considering a liquid handling system for but I found the Corbett CAS-1200 robotic pipettor to be reasonably priced for this application.
